When the idea first came about in the '70s of establishing BHNS, a small and intimate pre-nursery school was envisioned. We hoped to combine the best of eastern and western education ideologies so that young minds could develop global mindsets from an early age. With a passion for education and a love for children, we were excited about creating cross-cultural early years learning model. We aimed to inspire our young children via a creative, motivational, educational, and caring experience so that they could establish a set of proper core values to carry with them beyond school into the rest of their lives. We conceived of a comprehensive curriculum supported by a nurturing environment. We also aspired to create a school that encouraged and evoked the natural desire of children to explore and learn. In January 1979, BHNS was launched and we couldn't have dreamed that we would grow to where we are today. With God's grace and divine guidance, working in the field of early childhood education is a true privilege that we cherish in our daily lives. Life is precious, and we undertake with honor, humility, and joy our mission to lay the solid groundwork for each student's future. BHNS extends our sincere thanks to all of our parents for the trust they have bestowed upon us to educate their children and embraces them for being a part of our past, present, and future. Our Mission: To stimulate and nurture children's minds, emotions, and whole-person development, through providing a positive and caring environment that is supported by Christian love, teachings, values, and beliefs. To advance biliterate and trilingual abilities to help children realize their multilingual potential. To cultivate learning through fostering experiences that encourage motivation to learn, promote exploration and interaction, create a desire to lead, and inspire through the challenge. To support local and global community service through active involvement and participation in projects. At BHNS, we are committed to staying abreast of leading research in early childhood education and best practices around the world. Drawing on important findings across the research spectrum, we customize our programs specifically to suit the needs of our students. View full school
